Harry：Hey, buddy.Would you like to tell us what the hell that was all about?

John：I don't like good-byes.

Harry：Kind of the point of a good-bye party, John.Could've at least stayed a few minutes, huh?Eaten some of the food we so feverishly prepared?

John：I apologize, Harry.

Edith：But why are you moving so quickly?You only resigned a couple of days ago.

Dan：You got the history chair at Stanford.

John：I wish.

Dan：Art's gonna be along, too.He's, uh, talking to a student. Pfft.

Edith：My god!Wh-What is this?It looks like a Van Gogh,But I've never seen it before.

Dan：Is that an original, John?

John：No, it's just a gift someone gave me.

Edith：Still, it's a superb copy.Contemporaneous[kənˌtempəˈreɪniəs], I think,May I take a closer look?

John：Please, yeah.

Edith：Yeah, it's the same stretcher as Van Gogh used.

Dan：Yeah, there's writing on the back in French.

Edith：Oh, "to my friend Jacques Borne."Wonder who that was?

John：Someone he knew, I guess.

Harry：Brilliant deduction, Sherlock.

Edith：Surely you'll have this looked at, appraised?

John：Well, maybe sometime,but I wouldn't really want money for it.That does it.

众人进屋

John：Get comfortable while you can.The furniture's going this afternoon.

Dan：It's been years since I sat on a floor.So you're leaving good old "we teach you."Rather suddenly, you must admit.Truth time, John.Is there a problem?

John：No.

Dan：Oh, come on, you know we wanna help.

John：That's appreciated, but really-There's no problem.

Dan：Well, now I am curious.Where are you going?

Harry：Givin' up tenure- [ˈtenjər]终身教职 

Dan：A decade of professorship,in line to chair the department,and you don't know where you're going?

John：Call it cabin fever幽闭症.After a while, I get itchy feet.I've done this before.

Dan：No, no, no, you're too young to have done this before.

Edith：And he hasn't aged a day in ten years.Every woman on the faculty[ˈfæklti]全体教师 would give anything to have that secret.

Sandy：Wow, can you pull this?

Harry：What the hell?What do you hunt?

John：Deer, mostly.Around big bear.

Harry：With a bow and arrow?

Dan：Most people can't bag a deer with a rifle and a telescopic sight.Though, good eatin'.

John：The best wild game.Lives naturally, eats naturally.    Hey,Art!

Art：Hey, John.You know Linda.You had her last semester.

John：Hi.

Linda：Hey.

Art：She's one of my victims now.I'm taking her home.She wanted to come by and say hello good-bye.
